Congratulations to Amanda Almeida Coco on successfully defending her doctoral thesis titled “Bioactive Composite Dressings Based on Melt Electrowritten PCL Coated with Chitosan/PVA/Bioactive Glass Containing Cobalt and Curcumin for Enhanced Skin Regeneration” on 10th July, 2026. Amanda carried out her doctoral research at the Postgraduate Program in Engineering Metallurgical, Materials, and Mining, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), Brazil, and at our Institute of Biomaterials under the co-tutelle agreement between the two universities, with Prof. Eduardo Henrique Martins Nunes as the supervisor at UFMG. Some publications have resulted from her doctoral thesis, including a recent paper in Biomater. Advances [1]. Prof. Boccaccini said: “It was a pleasure to co-supervise Amanda’s project and to witness her dedication, commitment, and perseverance throughout her doctoral journey”. We wish Amanda every success in her future career!
